COMBDTATION GARMENT-HANGER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. a. torn.

application filed January 31, 1914. Serial No. 815,752;

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, AN'roNr KRUsznwsKI, a subjcct of the Emperor of Russia, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Combination Garmentllangers, of which the following is a specification. I

This invention relates to garment hangers, and especially. to a combination hanger for supporting two garments such as a coat and trousers.

The object of the invention is to rovide a simple and improved device whic can be cheaply produced and which will be serviceable for the purpose indicated.

The structure comprises a coat supporter somewhat similar to those now in general use, modified to afford means for the attach ment of a clampin device by means of ie suspended from the same hanger.

The invention is illustrated in the accom panying drawings in which 1s a perspective view showing the clamp for Figure 1 is a side view showing the clamp for the trousers in open position. Fig. 3 is a side view of the coat hanger part, with the trousers clampremoved. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the leaves of the trousers clamp illustrating the device for holding the same closed.

Referring specifically to the drawings, 6 indicates a wire coat hanger of ordinary eonstruction with the addition, however, of a dependingloop or .part consisting of the vertical bars or rods 12 and 8 and the connecting bar 11, as seen in Fig. 3. This is 7 made of one piece of wire, coiled and bent as shown in Fig. 3, the modified or depending part, as above referred to, serving for the support or attachment of the trousers hanger or clamp. This trousers hanger or clamp consists of three leaves, A, B and C, preferably made of sheet metal of roper stiffness, and the leaves A and C are inged leaves A an to-the standing part 12 as indicated at 10. The middle leaf B is fixed at its opposite ends to the respective wires 12 and 8 and is also bent at its lower edge around the cross rod 11, whereby the plate or leaf B is held in a stifi and fixed position. The leaves A and C, located on opposite sides of the plate B, may be swung on their hinges toward and from the latter, and when closed they are fastened by means of the hooks 9 carried by pins 9 arranged for rotation in a curl or bend formed at the ends of the leaves A and O, and the hooks 9 are properly positioned to .engage keepers 8 formed by producing opposite bends in the wire 8, one hook 9 engaging the up er bend and the other hook engaging the ower bend. a In the use of the device, a coat may be hung on the hanger in the usual manner. One or more pairs of trousers may be hung thereon by (placing the same between the C and the plate B, and then closing said leaves to clamp the ends of the trousers therebetween, the leaves being fastened by the hooks above described, said hooks being engaged by turning the rods 9 by means of the finger pieces at the lower ends thereof.

What I claim as new is:

A garment hanger formed of a continuous wire, arts of which are bent to form two depen ing rods and a connecting cross rod,

a plate fastened at its ends to the depend-' ing rods and attached along one edge to the cross rod, a leaf hinged at one end to one of the depending rods and arranged to swing toward and from the plate, and a pin rotatably mounted on the free end of the leaf and having a catch engageable with the other rod by turning said pm.

In testimony whereof, I do afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
